I thought Lunney was staying at bohs so the move is a hell of a surprise. akinade move didnt work out last year though

Long would have liked him (Lunney) to stay, developed in leaps and bounds as season went on but a few bob at Waterford beyond what we can match. Akinade was again hit by injuries this year, almost unmarkable when on his game but never a consistent goal scorer. still very much unfulfilled potential

he is a really good player , was a standout rugby player in Leinster Schools Rugby for CBC Monkstown as well so the Agricultural style will suit him down there
Phenomenal pace always thought he should be a winger rather than a full back

Yeah, not a dig at Cork at all but I think Casey will do a lot better down there than he would at a Dundalk. He's a bit limited (allowable for a centre half, granted) but a very good presence physically and covers ground well.

Has to be at least a couple of defenders out of Cork going off this? Barry still has a year left I think but will surely move on. Saw McLoughlin getting linked to England earlier. Bennett retiring maybe?

If Morris is off to Shels it makes a few departures from Bohs already too, though if their under 19s are always as frankly annoyingly good as they were against us they should just play them every week and forget about senior players anyway.

McLoughlin is linked with a move away but he finishes his degree this summer so it would be strange for him not to wait. Will have to wait and see.
I think Barry will move on, he hasn't played and it doesn't suit him or the club at the moment.
Benno could retire but I think he will give us one more year.
Delaney has a year left too but like Barry the situation doesn't really suit anyone.

We also have Conor McCarthy who can play at right back but is really a centre half. Only 20 years old.

Bennett could play another year, he is certainly fit for another year and its hard to replace that type of player. Would be handy to have about if young lads come in. Delaney hasnt worked and should be happy to walk away from the 2nd year of his deal if as said when he signed it wasnt for money. I think I mentioned McNamee's reaction to Caulfield on Sunday and it didnt look good so he has to leave for boths sides sake. McCormack 'rumoured' to be on the move according to a lot of Cork fans, he is one of the top earners Id say so might be wanted off the wage bill and is replaceable I feel albeit he was very good on Sunday. Cummins getting left out on Cup Final day, divisive among the Cork support and has been a disappintment, unless there isnt a better striker that can be brought in he could be looking for a new club.

McNamee is definitely leaving. I had hoped we might be able to get Bolger back and would gladly swap him for McCormack but that is not an option now. I still think McCormack is a good player but Bolger would have offered us something we missed badly this year.
